Still, things can't be all that bad. A few technologies have been developed to bypass internet censorship in the UK. One may find free and commercial services to unblock restricted access to torrent websites there. It is up to you which of them would be the best for your torrenting, but we’ll provide you with the data about both paid and free of charge technologies.

Firstly, you may unblock censored torrent websites by applying a VPN. You have already been aware of its benefits and mechanism of functioning, when you read about torrenting in Pakistan. The strategy will be the same for the UK. All in all, you will not only make the torrent tracker unblocked, but ensure your torrent traffic with protection against prying eyes of the authorities. It is worth mentioning that there are paid and free VPNs, but free one lack some essential for torrenting features or simply do not provide you with sustainable encrypting.

Secondly, another tool to unblock torrent websites in the UK is Tor. This technology helps you to rout your torrent traffic through multiple servers in such a way that it is encrypted on each of the layers. You stay anonymous on the torrent networking. The torrent website you are going to visit will not know that it is you. The biggest advantage of Tor is that it is available for free and you will install it easily.

Do you just intend to unblock torrent websites?

Do you want to access torrent websites and get strong encrypting?

Do you care about download speeds?

If you have answered ‘’yes’’ to questions 2 and 3, you preferable choice would be a VPN. Still? It is only you who can make your own choice, and, of course, we can’t decide instead of you.

Thus, we have learnt about torrent opportunities in the UK and Pakistan. The authorities of both countries tend to block access to torrent websites because of potentially pirated content which can be shared within these websites.
